Adding Decimal Tenths or Hundredths

Learning Goal

• reasoning about the relationship between the sum of two decimal tenths or two decimal hundredths and related whole numbers.

Open Question

1. Fill in values and solve.

There has to be at least one 2 in one of the numbers on the left of the equal sign, one 9 in the other number on the left and at least one 4 on the right in the sum.

Adding Decimal Tenths or Hundredths (Continued)

Think Sheet

We add to combine things. Adding decimals is just like adding whole numbers.

Just as3 ones + 9 ones = 12 ones (3 + 9 = 12),3 tens + 9 tens = 12 tens (30 + 90 = 120), or3 hundreds + 9 hundreds = 12 hundreds (300 + 900 = 1200),so3 tenths + 9 tenths = 12 tenths (0.3 + 0.9 = 1.2) and3 hundredths + 9 hundredths = 12 hundredths (0.03 + 0.09 = 0.12)

Adding TenthsSuppose we walked 4.9 km and

Tens Ones Tenths Hundredths

4 9

+ 8 3

then another 8.3 km. We would be adding 4.9 to 8.3. •Wecanthink:4.9 is 49 tenths and 8.3 is 83 tenths, so the total is 132 tenths, or 13.2.

We can see that ones are added to ones and tenths are added to tenths.

•Wecanuseanalternatestrategy,aswell. For example, 4.9 + 8.3 is 0.1 less than 5 + 8.3. So 13.3 – 0.1 = 13.2.

Adding Hundredths•Ifweareadding4.28to8.03, Tens Ones Tenths Hundredths

wecanthink: 4.28 is 428 hundredths and 8.03 is 803 hundredths, so the total is 1231 hundredths or 12.31.

•Wecanuseanalternatestrategy.Forexample,4.28+8=12.28andthen 12.28 + 0.03 = 12.31.

We estimate sums by thinking about the whole number parts only or the whole number parts and the tenths.

For example, 3.48 + 9.62 is about 3 + 9 = 12. But 3.48 is close to 3.5 and 9.62 is close to 9.5, so 3.48 + 9.62 is also close to 3 + 9 + 1 = 13.

Adding Mixed Decimals (Continued)

Think Sheet

When we add 37 + 420, we might start with 420 and add 3 tens to the 2 tens part of 420 to get 4 hundreds + 5 tens and then add the last 7 to get 457.

Ifweusedaplacevaluechart,itwouldlooklikethis:

If we add a decimal in tenths to a decimal in hundredths, it is important to add tenths to tenths and hundredths to hundredths. For example, suppose we walked 13.2 m and then another 5.78m.

Tofindthetotaldistance,wewouldadd:

13.2 + 5.78 is 10 + (3 + 5) ones + (2 + 7) tenths + 8 hundredths = 18.98

Ifwelinedthenumbersup,itwouldlooklikethis: 13.2 + 5.78

We can estimate the sum of decimal tenths and decimal hundredths using just the whole number parts or using the tenths as well.

For example, 13.2 + 5.78 is about 13 + 5 = 18. But 5.78 is close to 6, so 13.2 + 5.78 is also about 13 + 6 = 19.

Subtracting Decimal Tenths or Hundredths (Continued)

Think Sheet

We subtract to show what is left, to see how much to add, or to see how far apart two amounts are. Subtracting decimals is just like subtracting whole numbers. We can use similar strategies.

Just as 12 ones – 3 ones = 9 ones (12 – 3 = 9) 12 tens – 3 tens = 9 tens (120 – 30 = 90) 12 hundreds – 3 hundreds = 9 hundreds (1200 – 300 = 900),

so 12 tenths – 3 tenths = 9 tenths (1.2 – 0.3 = 0.9) and 12 hundredths – 3 hundredths = 9 hundredths (0.12 - 0.03 = 0.09)

more chicken we have, we subtract. There are many ways to do this, including thinking that 4.3 + 4 = 8.3. If there were 8.3 kg of chicken, that would be 4 more kilograms. Since there is only 8.2 kg of chicken, take away 0.1 kg. The difference is 3.9 kg instead of 4 kg.

8.29,wecanthink: 4.37 is 437 hundredths and 8.29 is 829 hundredths, so the difference is 392 hundredths, or 3.92.

We estimate differences by thinking about the whole number parts only or the whole number parts and the tenths.

For example, 11.7 – 8.3 is about 11 – 8 = 3. But 11.7 is close to 12, so 12 – 8 = 4.

If we subtract a decimal in tenths from a decimal in hundredths, we might go up by some hundredths to get to a whole number or a decimal tenth and then do the rest of the adding.

Multiplying and Dividing Decimals by 10 or 100 (Continued)

Think Sheet

Multiplying by 10 or 100 is easier than multiplying by a lot of other numbers.

That is because we only need to think about where the digits in a number appear.

For example, we can think of 10 × 3.4 as 10 groups of 3 ones and 10 groups of 4 tenths.

10 groups of 3 ones is 10 columns of 3 ones, or 3 rows of 10 ones. It is the same as 3 tens.

100 × 4.5 means 100 groups of 4 ones and 100 groups of 0.5. That’s the same as 4 hundreds and 500 tenths, or 50.

So 100 × 4.5 = 450.

4 5 0

The digit that was in the ones place is now in the hundreds place.

All the other digits move with it. The 0 was placed in the ones place to show that the 4 was hundreds.

We can also divide decimals by 10 using the same idea.

If we begin with 15.2, there is 1 ten, 5 ones, and 2 tenths.

If we divide by 10, we share each part among 10 people.

Each share is only 1 –– 10 as big.

1 –– 10 of 10 = 1
